Abstract
In this paper we present an XML-based modular architecture for the modelling and the run-time support of web-based Adaptive Hypermedia Systems. The proposed model and the supporting architecture allow the hypermedia adaptation along three different “adaptivity dimensions”: user’s behaviour (preferences and browsing activity); technology (network, user’s terminal, etc.); external environment (time, location, language, socio-political issues, etc.). A view over the Application Domain corresponds to each possible position of the user in the “adaptation space”. For the description of the logical structure of the hypermedia we propose a graph-based layered model: XML-based models are used to describe metadata about basic data fragments and “neutral” pages to be adapted (i.e. presented) with respect to the user position. An authoring and simulation tool which allows the design and simulation of the Application Domain is also presented.
